Hi Peter,
Just to let you know that we are now back home in the UK after having a delightful time in your lovely flat at Pine Lodge. Everything was just fine with the flat being clean and tidy, new bedding left for us and the heating on when we arrived. We found the flat was really well kitted out with everything we needed to hand. Ski hire available in the basement at sensible pricing really was handy.
So, in summary, we had a lovely time and thought the flat was really fine. I will be sure to go on to Trip Advisor and give you a very well-deserved, glowing write-up. We were most impressed with the booklet you have put together for your flat and learned quite a few things about the place we were unaware of previously.
Once again, many thanks for such good communications throughout the stay and I am sure that we will be in touch again the next time we go out to Bulgaria with John and Caroline.
Kind regards,
Roger and Elizabeth

It was a pleasure staying at your apartment, we have taken the leaflet for your other one in Egypt, no leaflet for your home in Bedfordshire I see !! lol

Hi Greta
You're very welcome to use our comments. We had a great time at Pine Lodge and found your lovely apartment really comfortable and convenient. Good walks right on the doorstep and beautiful views in all directions. If we decide to re-visit the Rodope Mtns again we will certainly come back to 17 Pine Lodge.
Best wishes

great ski apartment in the mountains
The stay we had in Pinelodge was very relaxing, the apartment was very cosy and comfortable perfect place to come back to after a hard days walking/skiing.
It was within walking distance of one of the chair lifts which took you to the top of the mountain/ski domain. Good skiing with a decent choice of pistes, and some fantastic views at the top.
There is a restaurant next door and also one within the building with great food and friendly staff.
Within driving distance of the nearest town for shopping a car is handy although taxis are super cheap so car not essential.
All in all a great value stay in Bulgaria

To Pete & Greta
Thank you so much for such a wonderful and relaxing stay at Pine Lodge. It was everything you had said and more.......fantastic scenery, people and beautiful apartment, so homely and modern too and so clean. Bulgaria is a country with vast diversity and Cos and i can't wait to re visit in the winter months to sample the snow and picturesque scenery and have a go at skiing. If anyone reads this, we would thoroughly recommend a few night caps just up the road at the local Mexaha where you will meet Sonia & Emil - wonderful hospitable people.

Had a last minute week free & lucky Pete & Greta could accommodate us again. We never tire of this wonderful place. Log fires up the road enjoying time with Sonia & Emil, cold but bright winter days & lovely & warm in No 17 - so so comfortable. Walked up through the forestry in ever deepening snow to the top of the Snejanka - what a wonderful invigorating walk that was followed by a great Lunch in the "Eagles Nest" on top. The chair lift down revealed wonderful views of Pine Lodge in the distance. Many thanks once again.
Barbara & John.
